My blogger outing with Jennifer from life and lens of beauty

Hi ladies! I'm finally nearly all better from my cold so I've been able to head out and about for some shopping. I've hauled a bit of stuff in the last few days but today I had the pleasure of meeting up with the very lovely Jennifer from life and lens of beauty for some beauty shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui! She very kindly showed me around lots of awesome places for beauty items - most of the places I never would have known contained beauty items at such great prices!

Once again, please excuse the crappy photos while I'm in HK. The lighting at my grandparents place is very yellow and there isn't much room to take good photos so don't mind the piles of stuff in the background of my shots =p

Jennifer very generously gave me a gift of Lush shower gel in Snow Fairy. Thank you so very much Jennifer - it smells absolutely DIVINE! You really should not have =) I can't wait to try it out, I'm going to smell good enough to eat hehe.

I tried (not very hard HA!) to limit the damage to my wallet today by only purchasing a few things. I picked up my first NARS goodies today from Facesss!! WOOT! Thank you Jennifer for allowing me to use your members card ;) I had to get Orgasm blush and also Pokerface limited edition polish from their Holiday 2010 collection.

How darn beautiful is this lilac???!!!! It contains a beautiful silver shimmer through it. The price wasn't so nice (I hate having to pay more than $15 for a polish) but compared to Aussie prices it was OK.

I picked up MisshaPerfect Cover BB Cream in 21 for a bargain price at a great hidden beauty shop that sold lots of great brands and products. I'm thinking I should have bought more from there!! I tried a sample of this back home but held off purchasing from the Aussie Missha store, I'm SO glad I did because it was a steal.

Very crappy photo sorry!

Some Skinfood polishes! i had a hard time choosing from the different colours, they were all so pretty! The pic below is not colour accurate though I'm afraid. The polish on the left is a gorgeous teal colour but it looks more blue here.

Jennifer highly recommended I try LaneigeWater Sleeping Pack so I bought a small sample of it. I'll be trying it tonight!! On another note, I love all the sample size items you can buy in HK! Great way to test before you take the plunge with a full size product.

Jennifer and I were both curious about Vitacreme B 12Regenerative Cream. We'd both read good things about it but had no experience with it so we got teeny tiny sample tubes to try! Can anyone enlighten us on the proper way of using it please..?? Thanks in advance!

I got some spare hair velcro clips. I have a fringe and these are fantastic for keeping hair off my face when getting ready.

Jennifer had to rush off for class so I went back to one of the stores to get some Golden Rose polishes. I take aaaaaaaaages choosing colours when faced with a tub full of choice so I didn't want Jennifer to have wait around for me! =p Since I started reading blogs and becoming more aware of the international brands out there, I am amazed at the range of international polish brands available in HK. I never expected to find Golden Rose polishes here!

I also purchased LioeleTriple Beyond Solution BB cream. The sales lady was very good in selling it! I've been making the transition to BB creams so I'm looking forward to road testing this. If not my sis can have it!

Thank you for a wonderful outing Jennifer! It was lovely meeting you! I wish we had more time to shop but there is always next year =) I will definitely be bringing you over some Aussie goodies to try next year!

Hey, I just stumbled upon your blog and I am absolutely blown away. Your nail collection is totally amazing (and kinda huge) and your nail art is even more fabulous. :)

Being someone who doesn't have much time or money to dedicate to nail stuff, I'd be STOKED to see a guide that lists some simple tips and the most basic nail stuff required for a nice mani (not like my crap attempts). So if you're ever bored or if you run out of ideas... hint hint? :D I'll definitely be bookmarking your blog! thanks for a great read.

@Leah: Thank you so much for your kind comment Leah =) My polish collection is a little big ho hum so I need to do a blog sale actually!

I don't consider myself an expert on nail art at all so I feel a little hesitant to do a guide as I think other nail blogers are so much better at it than me, but I'll definitely try and do one though. Thanks for the great suggestion!

@Jess: hehe I definitely had fun!

@Christina: There is just so much to buy here! I'm spending far too much in such a short time >.< I felt so bad parting with so much for the NARS polish but you know I love purples ;)

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and comment! I love reading your feedback and suggestions and truly appreciate each and every comment. I try to respond to all my questions as soon as I can in the comments so make sure to check back later.
